5.0 out of 5 stars Excentric conductor pulls off another masterpiece!, 28 Oct 2002
By A Customer
Graham Lea-Cox, with his extremely successful string of Boyce recordings, in which his knowledge of the composer and his music shines through, now treats us to some other great Baroque masterpieces. Although Graham may be going through a bit of a mid-life crisis at the moment (frequently seen wandering around night-clubs in surfing t-shirts, beaded necklaces and dyed hair) his understanding of the music combined with the experience of the renown Hanover Band brings to life the joys of these little known composers.

John Marsh's Symphony No.10 is my favourite and in my opinion typifies British Music at the time. Employing two antiphonal orchestras (hence the Symphony's other affectionate name), the piece is beautifully coloured and exciting to listen to, building to a climax with the horns and drums instilling the images of hunting.

I would heartily recommend this recording for all lovers of baroque music (and surfing, clubbing, poofs and mad conductors)
